Where do police who commit crimes go to public jails?

Do police go to public prison when they are arrested for crimes, or they go to special jails?
because you know, they are cops, and they not survive in jail, since most crimminals know who they are.

They go through the regular system, but are normally held in a special protection unit within the prison where they house other prisoners that aren’t judged to be safe in population. Of course the ex-cop can decline any special treatment, but I have never heard of one doing it. It’s funny with all the prison special on TV they haven’t covered this topic.

They go to the same jails everyone else does.

cops who commit crimes do go to jail but get released right after getting booked in. If one has to go to a prison he or she will be in a minimum security facility in protect custody. So they are protected more than the normal joe.
